CNR:
The white paper says that the international organization of the World Internet Conference was inaugurated in Beijing in July 2022. You just mentioned that the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit would be held soon. What are the Chinese government's expectations for the future development of the international organization of the World Internet Conference?
Cao Shumin:
Thank you for your question. I will answer your question. The World Internet Conference has been held eight times. Based on the Wuzhen Summit, the international organization of the World Internet Conference was inaugurated this July. At the inaugural ceremony of the organization, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter, pointing out that the establishment of the organization is an important move echoing the informatization trend of the times, and it will deepen international exchanges and cooperation in cyberspace. He called for efforts to develop the World Internet Conference in line with forward-looking plans and high standards, to promote joint consultation through dialogues and exchanges, and to ensure benefits are shared by all through practical cooperation so as to contribute wisdom and strength to the global internet development and governance. The World Internet Conference is an open platform, and China stands ready to work with the international community to promote the development of the international organization.
We have the following expectations for the future development of the international organization of the World Internet Conference.
First, in terms of enhancing consensus, we will focus on the new challenges and problems faced by cyberspace, uphold openness and inclusiveness, and support the international community to better handle disputes and reach more consensus.
Second, in terms of the digital economy, we need to leverage its role to advance socio-economic development. We hope that the digital economy can become a major engine in driving global digitalization, empowering its transformation. We also hope that the international organization can make contributions to the global digital economy.
Third, in terms of digital technology innovations, we will strengthen cooperation with the international community, deliver more major outcomes for innovation, and boost the advances in technology. The latest technological innovations are released at the Wuzhen Summit every year.
Fourth, in terms of cultural exchanges, we will encourage cooperation with internet media, advance the development of internet culture, promote mutual learning among civilizations, raise the public's digital literacy, and push forward the sound development of online cultural industries.
Fifth, in terms of setting rules, we will continue our efforts to advance the progress of global internet governance and encourage corporate members, research institutions, and universities worldwide to conduct discussions and exchanges on governance rules and technical standards, among other areas.
Sixth, in terms of exchanges and cooperation, we will build better platforms for exchanges and cooperation between governments, international organizations, multinational enterprises, technical groups, and experts and scholars. The above are our expectations. Thank you.
